Bone stretching with skin grafting for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a surgical technique that stretches the bone beneath a diabetic foot wound and covers it with a skin graft to help it heal. It may help people with moderate to severe diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard treatments.
